N-tert-butyl-4-(chloromethyl)benzamide

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: 1.0 Gram (0.0038 mole) of 5-(4-methoxyphenoxy)-1,3-dimethylpyrazole-4-carbaldehyde oxime, 0.86 g (0.0038 mole) of N-tert-butyl-4-chloromethylbenzamide and 1.0 g (0.0072 mole) of potassium carbonate were added to 20 ml of acetonitrile, and the resulting mixture was heated under reflux for 6 hours. After completion of the reaction, acetonitrile was removed by evaporation under reduced pressure, after which water was added to the residue and extraction was carried out with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate extract was washed with water and dried, and ethyl acetate was removed by evaporation to obtain an oily product. This oily product was column-chromatographed on silica gel to obtain 1.4 g of the desired compound. the resulting mixture was heated under reflux for 6 hours was removed by evaporation under reduced pressure after which water was added to the residue and extraction The ethyl acetate extract was washed with water dried ethyl acetate was removed by evaporation to obtain an oily product This oily product was column-chromatographed on silica gel
